# A Comprehensive Economic Framework

The *Kalp economic system* is carefully designed to align incentives among all participants, fostering a sustainable and thriving ecosystem capable of accommodating billions of users. By integrating its technical innovations with a meticulously crafted economic model, Kalp delivers an infrastructure that balances efficiency, fairness, and scalability. This tokenomics framework is detailed in this paper, complementing the Kalp technical white paper.

Kalp’s economy operates with three primary types of participants:

### Users

Users interact with the Kalp ecosystem by submitting transactions to create, modify, and transfer digital assets or by engaging with decentralized applications built on Kalp.

### Gini Token Holders

Holders of Kalp’s native token, Gini—a token with a finite supply of 2 billion units. Gini holders have the ability to delegate their tokens to validators, participate in network governance, and influence the protocol’s evolution.

### Validators

Validators are tasked with essential network operations, including transaction processing, consensus, routing, and execution. They form the backbone of Kalp’s decentralized infrastructure.
